Since I have more time than money I just made another sign for the front of my shop. I'm still going to add a "Bus Stop" sign to go along with the Greyhound but I'm looking for ideas for the next project. I like the silhouette/shaped signs the most. Anybody have some thoughts, maybe a cool tire sign? I have already done the Mobil flying horse. Thanks.

Love the Pankey Oil but it looks like a hard one to hand paint. Heres my dog in the rough (1/2" MOD plywood about 4'long).

Judging from how well the Greyhound turned out, I think you can do it!

The wheel tread would be the toughest, even with a projector if it's a modest sized sign. But you could change the tread from waffle to lines.

I have been looking on Ebay and found a few ideas for the next sign. Can anyone recommend a good book or other source for sign ideas? Thanks.
